Happy editing! Jay8g [V•T•E] 23:20, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you :) A new article I was contributing to (started by someone else) has been deleted due to not enough sources (Accordion Society of Australia). Is there a way it can be re-instated and given another shot? The first contributor had only provided sources from the organisation itself, so I added a few historical newspaper articles from trove.nla.gov.au however I'm not sure if those got noticed or taken into consideration when the deletion happened. I'm still new to editing on Wikipedia but would love to give this another shot, as the accordion's presence in Australia is an interest of mine. Cheers.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Accordion Society of Australia (December 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Fermiboson was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No evidence of WP:NCORP meet yet. The first and second sources are neither WP:INDEPENDENT nor WP:SECONDARY, the third source seems fine, 4 and 5 are also neither independent nor secondary.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Accordion Society of Australia and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The added sources have unfortunately not managed to substantiate notability here; the 'in-depth' Sydney Mirning Herald piece is about the society's founder, not the society itself, and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED

Thank you for the feedback. Would a more recent article about a more recent president of the organisation help with this, given that it mentions the organisation more often than the 1970s article? https://www.smh.com.au/national/victoria/re-introducing-the-accordion-an-instrument-close-to-the-heart-20230829-p5e06m.html Iplayboxes (talk) 00:15, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No, notability is still WP:NOTINHERITED, and a piece focusing on the founder is of course going to mention the organisation he founded, that still doesn't constitute WP:SIGCOV of the org itself. Athanelar (talk) 00:21, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
